Digital apocalypse: living through the death of virtual worlds. 7inShare Jump To Close In the middle of the night on November 30, 2012, Erin Palette's carefully kept world ended.
During the last moments, her City of Heroes character Silence Do-Good held a torch aloft in her bright red-gloved left hand as a spiderweb of broken concrete spread out below her equally bright red, knee-high boots.

A Kinder, Loving World. In the musical Brigadoon, the people of a Scottish highland town seal themselves off from society after a preacher entreats God not to let the modern world corrupt the good thing they have going.
The town resurfaces through the mists once every 100 years, and, this being a fairy tale, there are rules. No one can leave. No one can move in unless they truly love a member of the town (and not just Brigadoon itself). And that one day every 100 years is all you get. Stasis Tool Howto.
